This Game is Too Real Chapter 764

  Chapter 764 Baiyue Company goes public!

  As the players expected, they found four injured mutants in the residential area of ​​Shazhou Island.

  Three of them hid in the sewers, and one hid in the morgue of the hospital.

  The special living habits developed on Shifeng Mountain make them used to hiding in dark corners.

  After solving all the hidden dangers, the residents of Shazhou Island finally returned home one after another on the second day after the naval battle.

  The construction of the submarine cable and freshwater pipeline leading to Shazhou Island will start as soon as possible, and the construction period is expected to be completed from the end of August to the beginning of September.

  After absorbing the technicians and experience from No. 70 shelter, Baiyue Company's subsea construction capabilities can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

  From the "Crab" underwater engineering armor to the "Electric Ray" underwater self-welding unmanned boat, to the deep sea environment modular construction scheme, etc., both "hardware" and "software" have been greatly improved.

  Of course, this is mainly because Baiyue Company has a good foundation.

With the strong backing of the two major industrial areas of Dawn City and Boulder City, as well as the engineering technology unearthed by the scientific expedition team from a series of ruins including No. 100 shelter, and more importantly, there is a powerful alliance behind it Otherwise, the technicians of Vault No. 70 alone would not be able to achieve such an astonishing construction speed.

  With the exception of Shazhou Island, the four southern islands in the southern waters and Coral City near the middle line have all been connected to the freshwater supply network and power grid of Chip Harbor.

  Although the facilities in Coral City have only restarted by 20% due to high power consumption, it is enough for the plan of the "submerged mother" of the Conch.

  On the fourth day after the naval battle, a twin-engine "Viper" transport plane landed on the tarmac of Anle Island, and a group of twenty players walked out of the cabin.

  They are all pilots with superb driving skills. Not only have they passed countless actual combat tests, but they have also obtained the "Ace Pilot" certificate issued by Brother Mosquito!

   Soon they will go to the Conch to complete the test of the alliance's new "underwater carrier aircraft".

   Not far from the apron.

  Commander Li Minghui of the Anle Island Fleet of the South China Sea Alliance looked at the Viper transport plane enviously, and said to Fang Chang standing beside him.

   "Your planes have a lot of tricks."

   Fang Chang said with a faint smile.

   "That is the masterpiece of the giant stone military industry, and it existed before the birth of the alliance."

   "It looks much smaller than that "Overlord"."

   "After all, before this, the nobles in the inner city of Boulder City only focused on regional affairs and themselves, and the residents there only served the nobles in the inner city. The Viper transport plane has completely covered their short-distance 'travel needs'."

  Li Minghui raised his eyebrows with interest, looked at Fang Chang and asked.

"what about now?"

  Fang Chang continued.

   "The current Boulder City has no inner city. They have their own city hall, city lord, and court. Residents only need to fulfill their obligations as survivors of Boulder City and citizens of the Union, such as obeying the laws that everyone must abide by, etc."

  Li Minghui nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked another question.

   "What about the other settlements? Is it the same?"

  Fang Chang said with a faint smile.

"Of course not. For example, Singularity City has a clear hierarchy and promotion system, but this is what the local survivors expect. Our managers respect their choices and only deprive them of trafficking other people in accordance with the Alliance Constitution." As for the others, they have not made significant changes, and even generously endowed them with an absolutely impartial AI supervisor.”

   Li Minghui nodded approvingly, and said in agreement.

   "I think he is doing the right thing by making decisions based on local conditions... We should consider the survivors' own ideas."

"Me too, after all, I think it's stupid and absurd that a group of guys who understand equality as 'can do whatever they want' suddenly get equality. They feel uncomfortable, and we are uncomfortable. In the end, nothing but equality There is no other use for it except to make the word stink. The manager has said from the beginning that we cannot take everyone to the new world, and some people are destined to live at their own pace."

  Looking at Li Minghui whose eyes were twinkling, Fang Chang's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile.

   "If the survivors of the South China Sea Alliance support you as their president, our administrators will of course recognize you."

  Li Minghui was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and laughed.

"Come on, I didn't think about it that way...Even if they all support me, they still have to ask for my opinion. Don't forget that I am also one in a million members of the South China Sea Alliance. They don't want to push me to the front without authorization , don't even think about it!"

  Fang Chang smiled noncommittally, did not say anything, but cast his eyes on the latent mother in the distance.

   "Hope everything goes well, it would be nice if this war could end sooner."

  There are a lot of people in the wasteland who do bad things based on their conscience. He is not a student like Ye Shi who has not yet left society.

  He doesn't care what this guy says, and presumably the manager doesn't care either.

   But they'll all be watching, to see what he does.

  Li Minghui also looked in the direction of the potential mother, sighed softly after a long time, and said insincerely.

"yes…"

   It would be nice if it could end sooner.

   Although later might be better...

   "Wasteland OL" forum.

  The testing of the new equipment has not yet ended, and half of the ace pilots have already come to the line.

   "This new plane is too exciting!"

   "One thing to say, one thing to be sure, and one thing to be sure. Of course, I didn't talk about the plane, but the machine gun."

   "It would be great if I could get insurance."

   "+1."

  The discussion posts quickly spread to dozens of floors, making the onlookers feel itchy.

  Finally someone couldn't help being curious and asked below the post.

   "Guys, do you have any pictures or videos? Nothing else, just curious about what the plane looks like."

   "Mainly because I haven't seen it before, and I'm curious."

   Seeing someone asking a question, someone in the know soon came out to answer.

   "Didn't bring a camera up."

   "Confidential."

   "Damn! This can also be kept secret!? Can it still be leaked on the forum?"

   "What's the rush, there will be a pv video on the day you log in, and you will see it naturally. (Funny

   "+1."

   "@#%&!"

  Irena: "Is it my illusion? I remember only 20 pilots. (Funny

  Ye Shi: "Good guy, how many clouds are here?"

  Time passed day by day, and soon from the beginning of August to the end of the month.

  The coalition forces sent by the Viscoplasma to Haiya Province have advanced the front line from the north of Laishan City to the southern suburbs through a step-by-step offensive strategy. Although no survivors have been found, the purification of the local soil has advanced to 70%.

  In addition, the purification work of Weifu wasteland is also continuing to advance.

Affected by the order of the alliance, more and more survivors from the southern part of Jinchuan Province settled near the Weifu military base, and the population of the Weifu City settlement officially broke through the 50,000 mark and is advancing towards 100,000 .

  The progress on the northern line is astonishing, and the progress on the southern line is not far behind.

  The missile launchers and radars of the alliance have been successfully deployed on Shazhou Island, and the submarine mother Conch has also been quietly completed, and it has secretly served the alliance navy.

  All the chess pieces have been prepared, and now we are just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

  According to the news released by "Survivor Daily", the alliance and the allies in the southern sea area are planning a decisive battle with the Chalas authorities, and the time and space left for the latter are running out...

  In addition to the progress on the front line, two major events have occurred in the alliance recently.

  The first thing is that the Alliance and the Xilan Empire officially signed a ceasefire agreement.

  The empire needs to compensate the alliance for a total of 500 million silver coins, and immediately stop the suspension of the Golden Gallon Port, and resume normal shipping and trade activities along the Yongliu River.

   However, considering that the empire does not have enough silver currency foreign exchange reserves, the compensation will be mortgaged by foreign trade tariffs, collected by the alliance entrusting agency, and the compensation will be deducted in proportion to pay to the empire.

  The part collected by the agency is mainly the goods from Jin Gallon Port to Borneo Province, and the customs duties of different goods will be discussed by both parties and signed another agreement.

   In other words, the emperor of the empire does not need to take out the indemnity from the treasury, and can even collect money from the alliance. And considering that there are many more trade varieties in Jingalun Port than before, maybe they can earn more.

  So after hearing this "improvement plan", Duke Galava immediately agreed.

   As for the ownership of King Gallen Port, the Alliance cannot allow the Empire to take it back and mess with it. The Duke of Galava obviously did not expect to take it back by mouth, so he proposed to put aside the dispute and maintain the status quo.

   That is, the alliance will not turn King Gallon Port into its seventh or eighth settlement, and the empire will neither ask for nor give up the power it will ask for in the future.

  However, the Alliance did not plan to turn King Gallon Port into its own territory. This was neither in the interests of the Alliance nor in line with the purpose of the Alliance, so Cheng Yan, the Foreign Minister of the Alliance, agreed.

   After the ceasefire agreement takes effect, Kingaron Port will officially release all prisoners of war.

   In addition, the empire also received a total compensation of 150 million dinars.

   However, this compensation is not in the ceasefire agreement, but because of another agreement-the pension bill passed at the recent meeting of the Viscomunity.

   This compensation mainly comes from the viscoelastic body, and is paid out of the military expenditures jointly paid by all parties in the cohesive body. It is used to compensate soldiers who "fight for the destiny of mankind and die or become disabled as a result".

  The indemnified party can decide how to use the compensation according to its own situation, but it must ensure that at least 30% of the compensation is spent directly or indirectly on the individual.

One thing is one thing, no matter how low the power and status of the rat people in Borneo Province are, they are all people recognized by the sticky community as "unified natural and social people", and they come from areas less affected by slime molds. Province, so enjoy full compensation.

  As for why dinars are compensated instead of the silver coins that have signed the most currency swap agreements, it is mainly due to the strong request of the Duke of Galava.

  Although Chu Guang thought it was strange, he thought that the empire was a good friend of the Willant people after all, so he didn't say much, and agreed graciously.

  However, he didn't know that Duke Galava didn't think about that at all. He was just afraid that if the cohesion gave silver coins, the alliance would directly deduct the money.

  If he knew, he would laugh out loud at the cute thought.

In addition, since most of the treasury of the Bank of Gold Galleon is obtained from the slave trade, it will not be returned to the empire, but will belong to the local residents of Port Gold Galleon, which will be used for local construction and managed by the reorganized Bank of Gold Galleon. .

   Duke Galava, who has already asked His Majesty, did not have any opinion on this, but only proposed supplementary terms for establishing embassies with each other, and Cheng Yan, the foreign minister of the alliance, readily accepted it.

  In short, with the official signing of the ceasefire agreement, the alliance's military operation in Jin Gallon Port has officially come to an end.

Although there are still some problems in King Gallen Port today, such as low labor income, rampant smuggling, and rising crime rate due to the influx of immigrants, etc., it is much better than the previous settlement that either eats dirt or eats people. too much.

Problems have to be solved one by one. Problems caused by development need to be developed. Local survivors can't expect players to solve all the problems, not to mention that players in the alliance have left them some good tools. and methods.

  For example, the representative meeting selected from the citizens, as well as the courts and police agencies that separate the law enforcement and judicial powers, etc.

  As for the second matter, it is the establishment of the Dawn City Stock Exchange and the listing of Baiyue Company.

  After more than a month of auditing and investigation, Union Bank and Economic Department approved the listing plan of Baiyue Company.

  For this listing, economic experts from Camp No. 101 completed the supervision and trading system design, and the listing counseling agency of Ideal City completed the listing counseling of Baiyue Company.

  According to the listing plan approved by the board of directors of Baiyue Company, the first batch of issued shares is 50 million shares, the issue price is 10 silver coins per share, accounting for 8% of the total shares, and promises to allocate no less than 10% of the profits every year for dividends.

  The funds raised will all be used for the expansion of Baiyue's main business, striving to make the company bigger and stronger.

  Based on the valuation calculated based on the issue price, the valuation of the entire Baiyue Company has reached 6.25 billion!

   This figure is even higher than the league's financial expenditure for the whole of last year!

  However, everyone who knows about the development of Baiyue Company knows that this value is still underestimated.

  Baiyue Province's business in King Gallen Port alone is more than 6 billion silver coins based on the most conservative price-earnings ratio of 20 times. The issue price is set at 40 silver coins, which is considered conservative.

  The reason for the relatively low issue price is to share the dividends brought about by the development with the residents of the alliance to a certain extent.

  After all, if there were no workers from the alliance to work hard in the factory to create value, the alliance would not be able to become an economic miracle in the wasteland, and it would even be able to use the surplus resources to incubate a pioneering place like French Fry Port.

  The best way to repay these people is to send money directly to these people.

Among the 50 million shares, 30 million non-tradable shares have already been subscribed by the insurance in the social field of the Union (pension, unemployment insurance, etc.), and the other part has been bought by insurance in the public field (railway insurance, housing insurance, etc.). The biggest beneficiaries are mainly low- and middle-income residents who pay social insurance and enjoy the most public services.

  As for the remaining 20 million shares, they will be issued as tradable shares to middle and high-income residents of the alliance.

  Holding the alliance's ID card and providing the alliance's domestic bank deposit or flow certificate can open an account at the stock exchange, and individuals can subscribe up to 100,000 shares. There are no restrictions on buying and selling in the secondary market.

Players can also trade the stock of Baiyue Company, but for the time being, only the Bank Exchange channel is open for trading, and the trading ratio in the Bank Exchange is not limited, just like other ongoing equity transactions, only for large amounts Equity transactions are reviewed.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, the trading system of the Bank Exchange is relatively mature, and on the other hand, the player's mission income is already an order of magnitude higher than that of ordinary NPCs, so there is no need to compete with NPCs for that point. Dividends, just close the door and play by yourself.

   Besides, with NPC deposits, it may be difficult for players who want to cash out to take over.

  But this problem does not exist in the Bank Exchange, where there are a large number of "mystery customers" waiting for food, and willing to spend real currency to buy at any time.

  In order to take care of the work and rest of most people, the release date is specially set on a rest day.

   Not only that, the banks in various settlements of the alliance have opened account opening windows, but there was still a long queue at the gate of the Shuguang City Exchange that day, which almost paralyzed the traffic in the adjacent streets.

Although most of the residents of Dawn City still have the impression of Baiyue Company in the seafood market in the northern suburbs of Dawn City, and they don't know much about the company's specific business, the headlines of the "Goblin Observer" have touched everyone's hearts. a fire—

  【Subscribing shares of Baiyue is to support the alliance's overseas expansion business! 】

  When everyone saw this, they immediately became excited like a chicken blood.

  Supporting the alliance's overseas expansion, isn't it just showing loyalty to the manager?

  Although the manager never said that, the young guys couldn't help but make up their own brains.

   Of course, the most important thing is that they have money in their pockets.

  Since Boulder City joined the alliance, the alliance has not only absorbed the technology of Boulder City, but also absorbed Boulder City's "Boll the Awakened" and the Workers' Association.

The merchants have their own merchant guilds, and the workers also have their own organizations. Under the mutual checks and balances of the two forces, the median hourly wages of most factories have increased from 5 silver coins per hour before Boulder City joined the alliance. 8.

  At the issue price of 10 silver coins, as long as you are not a drunkard who spends all his income on alcohol, even a guy who washes dishes in a tavern can buy 100 shares.

   And most of the people who opened an account didn't even think about making money from this stuff, they just had the simple idea of ​​wanting to contribute their own strength to the managers.

  1000 silver coins can be exchanged for 5 assault rifles.

  One Boulder City has increased their hourly wages by 60%. If donating 5 guns can help the Alliance liberate a few more "Boulder City", even if all the 1000 silver coins are lost!

   “…Are these guys crazy?!”

  Looking at the crowded stock exchange, Ni Yang, who slipped out from Embassy Street to join in the fun, widened his eyes in surprise, as if he saw a sea monster in the Borneo Sea.

  The security guard who maintained the order of the team took a look at him and felt that this face did not look like a local, so he said politely.

   "Hello, sir, the original ID card of the alliance is required for equity transactions... Can you give me a look?"

There were many wastelanders who tried to sneak into the queue before, but finally found that they couldn't do it, and started to roll around or even play tricks. There was a lot of trouble, so his superior asked him to politely invite those who were not qualified to subscribe out of the queue , so as not to waste everyone's time.

  He didn't suspect that this guy didn't have an ID card, but that he didn't have one at all.

However, to his surprise, the man first glanced furtively around, as if confirming something, then puffed up his chest, and generously took out an ID card from his pocket and handed it to him. , said politely at the same time.

   "Of course it's convenient. This is my ID card. It's a fake ID card... Cough, I mean it can't be fake. Do you need to enter my number in the system for confirmation? Sir."

  The security guard was stunned, on the one hand because this guy cooperated so obediently, and on the other hand because this guy actually had it.

Since the establishment of the cohesion body, the threshold for obtaining an ID card has been raised from the original three months to one year, and a series of complicated procedures such as tax payment certificates, work certificates, etc. are required, otherwise, even if you enter through the refugee home People who are under supervision can only obtain the right of residence as a "supervised person".

   Are those refugees from the Battle of Luoxia?

  Given him a strange look, the security guard nodded and returned the ID to him.

   "That's not necessary, just show it to me, and the staff will confirm the authenticity of the certificate afterward. In addition... Thank you for your cooperation, I wish you a happy life."

   "I wish you a happy life too."

  Nyan saluted politely, even more politely than Duke Galava, with a sunny smile on his face.

As early as the first day he arrived in Dawn City, he was trying to understand what to do with the ID card of the alliance. At that time, the threshold for applying for an ID card was not as high as it is now. 120 hours of work is enough.

  He found a tavern run by a Wastelander, gave the boss a sum of money, and solved the problem easily.

   Although Duke Galava has a bad temper, as long as he licks that guy comfortably, that guy is still very generous.

  Of course, there are still a lot of smart people in the alliance, especially with the help of the Moon Clan girls from Potato Chips Harbor. The loophole of "paying for work" has been plugged, and the threshold for obtaining a certificate has also been raised a lot.

   It's just that the law does not go back to the past, and it has no effect on the "Dawn City Resident Status" he has already obtained.

   At that time, he only applied for the certificate out of his longing for that adult, but he didn't expect that the decision at that time would bring him such a big benefit.

  Although Baiyue beat up his emperor, so what?

  He hated the thousand pillars in the City of Thousand Pillars, and he wished that Baiyue Company would take a step forward and smash all the pillars there.

  Even if it only smashes the pillar of the rat people!

  The residents of Dawn City thought it was okay to lose money. It was a coincidence that he happened to be the same, even more radical than them. There were still too few dead rats on Shifeng Mountain!

certainly.

   Having carefully read every copy of Survivor Daily, he knows very well that this is actually a benefit given to everyone by the manager. It is almost impossible to lose money, and it is almost impossible to pick it up for nothing.

  The team moved forward slowly.

   After queuing for two full hours, Ni Yang finally saw the gate of the stock exchange, and his heart was beating excitedly following the continuously advancing queue.

  Although his ID was checked three times by three different security guards in these two hours, his mood was not affected at all, let alone being discriminated against.

   After all, compared with the humiliation he suffered in White Elephant City and Duke Galava, this little offense is nothing at all.

  They'd better check harder, don't let other rats come in and stain his hard-earned morsel of cream with those dirty paws.

  The line finally came to an end.

  The air-conditioned air in the hall blew away some of the hotness in his heart. Under the guidance of the staff, he quickly got his number and the forms to be filled out, and rushed to the counter impatiently after hearing the number called.

   It was a beautiful League girl who helped him with the formalities. Her face was as delicate as a pebble on the beach, her eyes sparkled and seemed to reflect water.

  Compared with her, the wife and lovers of the Duke of Galava are like cows in the shed!

  He admits that he may have filters in his eyes, and that the alliance's cosmetics have the effect of turning decay into magic, but he can swear that he is absolutely not lying.

  In the league, even ordinary people are so shining!

   Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by those fiery eyes, the teller lady coughed lightly and said in a business-like tone.

   "Please show your ID."

   "Nyan, Citizen of the Union."

  Ni Yang quickly showed the ID card in his hand, and smiled courteously at her.

   She had to face at least a thousand such smiles a day, but she still responded with a professional smile, and after confirming the documents, she was about to leave the form he had filled out.

   This solicitous and almost fanatical appearance is probably a wastelander who has just joined the alliance.

   She thought so, and looked at the form, but after seeing the numbers filled in the form, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she couldn't help opening her mouth with lip gloss.

   "...90,000 shares?!"

   This is almost the upper limit of personal purchases!

   How did this guy make so much money?

   It's not that she is snobby, she treats all clients equally, but the contrast this client brought to him is too great, like a beggar pulling out a large stack of banknotes from his pocket.

   It's hard not to wonder how he got his money.

   Seeing the astonishment in the beauty's eyes, Ni Yang smiled humbly, but couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

"My business made a little money. It is definitely a legal follow-up business. You can check it anyway... But please give me this opportunity after the investigation. I am also a citizen of the alliance. I want to use this money to invest in greater business."

  Restrained the surprised expression on her face, the lady teller stared at him and continued.

"Because of my responsibilities, I must say that Baiyue Company does not run any great business, it is just a profit-oriented organization, and it is fundamentally different from other relief organizations such as Home for the Refugees. "

  “We need you to clearly realize that this is an investment behavior, which is neither a donation nor a gamble. At the same time, any investment behavior has risks. You have to be responsible for your own choices and swear that you are fully aware of what you are doing.”

   "How many fingers do I need to swear?" Ni Yang smiled and raised his right hand above his head.

   "No need," the lady teller took out two contracts from the drawer, "You need to read this share subscription agreement and risk notification carefully, and sign at the end."

   Reaching out to take the contract and the pen, Niyang signed the two agreements without looking at them, and then gently put the pen on the table.

"I am well aware that this is not a great cause, and I know that the honorable managers are not short of my money, but I still hope they can go faster, and faster... Please understand the small wish of a mouse, my The strength is too small, so small that my master doesn't take me seriously at all, and even thinks that I am so weak that I don't even have the qualifications to betray him... And I really don't, and I really don't have the qualifications, my business doesn't have his support No way."

  Looking at the bewildered lady teller, Ni Yang slightly performed imperial court etiquette.

   "I wish you a happy life, beautiful lady, girls who are your age in Borneo are just goods... Of course, I am also the same as a livestock."

  Looking at the guy who finished all the formalities and walked out the door, the girl standing behind the counter blinked in bewilderment, then looked at the older colleague and asked in a low voice.

   That is her senior at work, and she trusts him very much.

   "Is Borneo so exaggerated?"

   While speaking, she didn't stop her hand, and tapped on the tablet to call the next number.

  The colleague next to him shook his head, teased noncommittally, and started to deal with the next task.

"Who knows how many of the things the wastelander said are true? Maybe he just wants to pick you up. Look, that guy is from Chip Harbor. I heard that people there want to talk about Aurora City in their dreams. Object... Hey, it's far enough from Chip Harbor."

  As for the Borneo province, it was too far away, so far away that he was not interested in learning about it. He just ate the special dishes there in a certain restaurant out of interest.

   But those "gooey" actually tasted the same, he couldn't tell the difference between the gooey at all, and it was completely incomparable with the alliance's dazzling array of delicacies.

  Perhaps Baiyue has really changed the lives of the people there, such as teaching them to eat with utensils and on the table, so that the people there still expect more.

   But that's their business, he is just a small employee of Dawn City, he doesn't care about that kind of thing.

  In contrast, what he cares more about is the respected Mr. Manager and the interests of the alliance, at least in this way he is worthy of his hourly salary of 8 silver coins per hour.

  Praise the manager!

  He will always be loyal to that noble gentleman, who can obviously put all the money in his pocket, so that these guys in line can only watch enviously.

   I heard that the hourly salary of Kim Gallon's survivors is only one-tenth of his, and before that it was even less than this figure.

   Curious how they survived.
